To me it looks dis-propotionate. It seems very short and stubby. I'd take the new miata over the Sky any day.

Sorry to go counter but I think I prefer the Solstice styling.
You know... I'd always like the Solstice more up to this very point, but these new pics are making me change camp.

The sky isnt really a new car. In fact, it is 2 years old. Its just that we are getting it now. The real car, the Vauxhall VX200/VX220 was out in Europe, as a RWD, rear engine car. Then GM took it, moved the motor up front, and ruined it.

Also, based on the depriciation value of the vauxhall, this car will be in the mid/low teens after a year of ownership. If you really want one, buy one used, and save the money.

Just another rebadger from GM.

We liked it back in '03 when we saw it at the LA autoshow. Here is what it looked like back then:

That's what GM came up with on their own, then they went with the euro version instead. haha.

I believe all three came from the same studio. Your post makes little sense as Opel/Vauxhall IS GM. Why does it mater which studio did the work?

I much prefer the Styling of the Sky vs. the Solstice. I'll have to go take a test-drive this spring/summer sometime. Not really interested in picking one up, but I like test driving new cars

I dunno man... that has to be one of the ugliest cars I've seen in a while.

They definitely got their act together when they restyled it.
